Missouri and Kansas haven’t agreed on the all-time-series record in football since 1960, but with the Tigers’ 24-10 victory in the schools’ final conference matchup on Nov. 26, 2011, in Kansas City, Mo., MU comes out on top no matter how you slice it.

Imagine the future: It is Feb. 29, 2012, senior day at Mizzou Arena. Fans are honoring the efforts of seven student-athletes, five of whom have attended MU during four years of unprecedented basketball success and transformation.

Sunday nights carry special meaning for MU’s new Honors College director, Nancy West. When PBS first began airing Masterpiece Theatre in 1971, West, then 8 years old, gathered around the television with her mother each Sunday.

In addition to basketball talent, Beau and Cliff Minx have always possessed keen mathematical skills. Perhaps that’s because the identical twins have spent their lives dividing and multiplying everything by two.

When four MU journalism students developed NearBuy, a real estate search application for Apple’s iPhone, it wasn’t going to make them rich. But the app’s success did prompt Mizzou to do something few colleges have considered.

As a recipient of the Brazeal Honors College Endowed Diversity Scholarship, Nick Cobblah earned a spot in Mizzou’s Discovery Fellows program, which put him in a research setting as soon as he stepped on campus.
